Bill > HR4674

This bill, the Stop Taxpayers Obligations to Perpetrators of Sexual Harassment Act, has two key provisions: 1. It requires members of Congress to reimburse the U.S. Treasury for any payments made from a special account to cover awards or settlements related to claims of sexual harassment committed personally by the member. The member must reimburse the account within 90 days of the payment being made. 2. It prohibits the use of a member's Representational Allowance (which is used to pay for official expenses) to cover awards, settlements, or other compensation related to allegations of sexual harassment by the member or any individual whose compensation is paid from the Allowance. The bill aims to hold members of Congress personally accountable for sexual harassment they commit, rather than using taxpayer funds to cover such settlements and awards.
